Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a multi-agent framework based on argumentative agent technology for the
automation of the workflow selection and execution. In this framework, workflow selection is
coordinated by agent interactions governed by the rules of a dialogue game whose purpose is to evaluate
the workflow's properties via argumentation. Once a workflow is selected using this process, the
workflow is executed by dynamically configuring workflow engines to coordinate the participating
agents' workflow activities. We illustrate the overall framework with an example of workflow
composition that allows an agent to book an appropriate ticket and rent a car. |
